Living Without the -ving: Episode 2
Without trying to sound all corny and stuff, I'm alone in this land. A land with a mountain. A mountain where at the top, it has a door. A gold door. That door. That door is filled with my dreams and future successes. I'm trying to get there. I REALLY am. To my parents, they feel I'm just chilling at the bottom, waiting for a flying carpet to take me there. Well, I'm not. I mean, yes, that'll be way easier, but life isn't easy. But with everything that I've been through in life so far, you'd think someone would give me a flying carpet. A flying carpet to take me to my dreams and wonders, to that glorious gold door.
Everyday, that mountain gets higher and higher. I must look like an insect to that gold door. Adding more years until I can get up there. Why is this happening to me? It's not fair. Yes, life isn't fair. You're reminded that everyday. Then again, the ones that are told that are the ones that don't live the best life anyways. You see anyone saying that to a billionaire? I don't.
This idea, life? What is it besides living everyday for everyday and giving everything you have just to be slapped in the face with failure. The escape is hard. You want to feel happy but let me tell you that grin right now falls back to a frown as soon as you remember. The remembrance of failure is there at the back of your brain, always. It depends on the day to remind you.
I know. I don't want to be reminded. Who does? But moving forward is the true stepping stone. I'm moving forward, gradually. It's a lot of work, of course. Climbing up that mountain is a lot of work. The equipment you need to climb up the mountain is easy to find, it's the mindset you need in order to find the equipment. So what equipment do you need in life to climb and dodge all those obstacles and get to the top?I'm still trying to figure that out. I think a lot of people are....
But when I find out, I'll tell you. I promise. I promise because I don't wish what I'm going through to anyone. I'm too kind. Maybe being too kind has gotten me here. When I find out whether or not that's the case, I'll tell you too.
It only takes one blink to figure out where you are. How many times do we blink in a day? Must be loads, but with all that, I still can't figure it out. Sad? No. Slow? Extremely.I could take the story of The Tortoise and The Hare to make me feel better, but we all know in the real world, it's never like that. Well, for me life hasn't been like that. Then again, true success isn't rushed, therefore I shouldn't rush, but I should make sure I accomplish successfully in each step I take to climb my mountain(s).
As you can probably notice, my mind and my thoughts are truly troubled and filled with rhetorical questions but I will find all the answers, very soon.
With no rush included.

Hey Guys!
This is officially the first post of "SATURDAY SOUNDS".
The first sound I'm going to tell you guys about it is 'D I A N A'. They are a band from Canada. They include Carmen, Kieran, and Joseph.
Here is one of their songs that I am in love with, but I also love their song 'Perpetual Surrender'. According to their About on their soundcloud, they've just finished their album and we should be hearing more songs from their very soon. Can't wait!
Listen to their tack 'Born Again'
Click to know more about them on their sites!
Soundcloud
Tumblr
A band from Montreal, Canada, I'd like to share you guys with are 'TOPS'. I've been listening to them a long time now and I think they deserve as much recognition as any other band.
'TOPS' (Tender Opposites) are what I'd call inspired by the 90s (also like D I A N A) which is why I LOVE them!
They bring such a great and different sound to the table.
Check out their song and also official music video (of ONE of my favourite songs) 'Rings of Saturn':
Also check out these sites to know more about them and buy their music!
BandCamp
Overall, you can probably tell that they are really chill music. Considering I am a chill person, this is music that I love to listen to when I need to escape from the world and come up with music videos in my head with unicorns and ligers involved.
I really hope you take a look at these guys. If they're not your cup of tea, that's okay!
Till next time,
Stay Fetch et Bisou.
P.S.
Check out TOPS new song "Easy Friends":
Saturday Sounds will be new weekly (Saturday) posts of music that I'm currently listening or have been really loving right now or even for a long time. I will have YouTube (or/and vimeo) links to the song, as well as talking about it.
I hope you enjoy these series as much as I enjoy blogging about them.
However,
I must apologise for my GRAND absence. It has been a mighty long time since I lost blogged. Almost a month, or maybe more than that. It's just that I've had to make many decisions concerning my future and what I'm going to do with it, therefore it has been quite hectic. A little depression and les miserables if I must say so myself!
But all is fair in love and war... Therefore, I should be back to normal and back to you great readers!
ALSO, if you have not followed me yet, please do :) It would make everything much easier for you guys and you'll be alerted every time I make a new post.
For now,
Stay Fetch et Bisou x

Living Without the -ving: Episode 1
Low self esteem is dangerous. It can really harm people. Once you have it, it either stays with you or comes and goes. It can never really go unless you surround yourself with people who uplift you so therefore you can uplift yourself. It took me 10 years to realise this. Which is sad.
I use to want to surround myself, when I was 13/14, with fake people. People who treated me badly seemed to attract me. It seemed that making people love was more important that treasuring people who already did. Till this day, I don’t understand why.
I had friends that would even insult me and belittle me, why did I stay amongst those people? Why did I empower them more and more. Because that’s simply all they wanted. They needed a weakling to feel superior.
But that’s not me anymore. I guess you have to go trough things to learn more things and know the difference between negative and positive energy. However, why did getting hurt have to be apart of it? I’d rather have been taught a life lesson in a classroom for like 3 hours than throughout my whole life and putting my esteem at risk.
Not only that but my life at home… I never understood why going through horrible things would make you feel stronger, because that’s one of things that I don’t feel. I feel tired and not motivated.
These are things that make me, me.
Or maybe I can change that. Eating better? Taking walks? Painting for no reason? Playing Sims 3? Going window shopping?
Okay. I’ll try that for next two weeks. We’ll see if things improve.
Till next time on ‘Living Without The -ving’…

CHICTOPIA MANIA !
These CHICTOPIA MANIA posts will be regular, as they will be posts about the website CHICTOPIA and the outfits people put up. I will be rating them, discussing them, talking about what I like and also what could be improved. I guess you could say I have my stylist hat on, but then again that's an errrdaay (lol) job.
Here we are with todays, Chictopia Likes :)
First off, we have a rocker outfit. It's definitely something to wear to go out to a dinner, however because of the boots chosen, it has made this outfit casual, but with that dressy edge. I believe that the studs are to give the leather jacket more of the biker feel. Which I must add, is a style that I LOVE! I'm glad the jacket, just has studs on the sleeves and not ALSO the collar, because otherwise it would've been a bit much. DIY or not, the studs look great!
I also REALLY, love the bag. But I would've preferred a different colour, since there's a lot of similar dark colours. Maybe a Khaki colour or even mint, white or cream?!
BTW! The denim is not a skirt, it's a dress!
I really love the lace at the bottom of the dress, giving the dress more of a subtle feel. It makes the denim look much more softer and delicate than it's usual feel.
However, the shoes are not a personal fave of mine. I have never been much of a cowboy boot fan. I've tried, I really have. But's it's NOT for me. Therefore, I would've prefer if she had worn Chelsea boots or Dr. Martens instead.
Overall, I love the outfit! (4/5)
Take a look at the stylist's chictopia! ; (< click me >)
You can also take a look at the person's blog! ; (< click me >)
Well, what more can I say? This outfit is amazeballs! INCLUDING her legs. Her Chictopia has to be one of my top favourites. The simple black top with the netted long sleeves with the laced up shorts add a very grunge touch to the whole outfit. I also love the collab with the catholic cross. And the hat really completes the outfit. I mean, imagine the outfit without the hat. Defo needed!
(5/5)
Again, by the same person, this very BOHEMIAN, I love the vibrant, yet similar, colours this outfit has. The burgandy, soft blues, magenta's and browns go extremely well. She is also using the same cross from the outfit before, again compliments the whole outfit. Her floral waistcoat contradicts the printed vest she is wearing, but yet they go very well together. I am a strong believer against mixing two patterns together unless you do it right, but she did very well, therefore I cannot say insult.
She picked the right colour boots, brown. For instance, if she used black it wouldn't have been bad, but it wouldn't have made the outfit as vibrant as it is now. You must always weigh shoe options.

For the third, and last time, we have another from
ARTINOURBLOOD who has another outfit with, what is very hot this season, a patterned mirror shirt. Underneath, she has a white collared shirt, which she studded herself. She is also wearing white petite socks and casual black, brown wedged heel, wedges. To make the whole outfit complete she also has the ear cuffed earings (which is also a popular accessory this season) and a nice bowler hat. I also adore the face that she is not wearing tights.
You may have realised, but in most, if not every outfit, she doesn't have a bag. I would accompany this outfit with a nice brown leather satchel. Small, medium preferably.
(5/5)
Take a look at her Chictopia! ; (< click me >)
Why not also take a look at her blog ; (< click me >)
[AMAZEBALL FACT: She's only SIXTEEN!!]
Who can make floral classy with a spice of edge? This girl can! With her sequinned dress, black ankle belted/lace up boots, red scarf to strengthen the outfit and her fabu feather earrings she shows that nothing can stop her! However, to her, this outfit is a casual and everyday outfit! With this outfit, I have to admit, the floral blazer was a dangerous touch to add, but she did gracefully. It definitely gave the outfit a girly side.
Also the background is great, but this close up of her (down below) makes you love her even more!

That's it for today! But look forward to the next CHICTOPIA MANIA !

LAZY? As If?!
So, you guys have seen and experienced it. MY LAZINESS! If laziness could kill.... well let’s not entertain that comment. But in all seriousness, I have a serious problem. Everyday, I have said ‘now would be a great time to blog Asta’. But NO, my body wouldn’t do it. What a shame, huh?
Well I promise, I will make sure to blog more consistently.
Till then,
Stay Fetch!
Peace et Bisou,
